Girl Power

You know that flu that has been going around? Yeah, I got it last week. Ouch. For someone who rarely gets sick (I like to think that I take pretty decent care of my body), it knocked me on my butt. My joints were in so much pain that I couldn't move, let alone did I have an appetite. I missed out on three days at the office and an entire weekend.

I'm finally getting back on my feet this week (and toes, as you can see above). The good news today? I found a house that I like. I looked at it on Friday and am in the process of filling out the paperwork. Yeah, it's a rental, but I don't feel like I'm in a mental place to root down anywhere just yet. I'm super excited at the prospect of having my own space again.

This is probably one of the warmest, coziest coats I own, by the way.

Okay, I want to back up a little bit. My current roommate (who also shoots a lot of my photos for me) hates these shoes. He brings it up every time I wear them and I think a big part of it has to do with my fashion influences growing up. See, when I was a pre-teen in the mid 90s, I worshipped The Spice Girls. It's funny to look back and realize just how much influence they still have over my closet — and I attribute my love for leopard print to my favorite Spice Girl, Scary. When Buffalo-esque trainers started popping back into style, I had to get some. Hence these gothed-out Y.R.U. Qozmo sneakers. I love them, Lou hates them.

So over the next couple weeks, it's a pretty high possibility that I'll be moving into my new home. Let's all cross our fingers!
